Lee Richard Corso is an American sports broadcaster and football analyst for ESPN and a former coach. He has been a featured analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay program since its inception in 1987.
Corso was born in Cicero, Illinois, on August 7, 1935. At age 10, he moved with his family to Miami and later attended Miami Jackson Senior High School, where he played quarterback. A baseball prospect, he was offered a $5,000 bonus to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers as a shortstop.
Did Lee Corso have a stroke?
The former coach is 87 years old and a survivor of a stroke he suffered in 2009. Unfortunately, Corso had a difficult appearance on GameDay this past weekend when he tried to discuss the role the SEC championship game would play in determining the four College Football Playoff teams.
He stumbled over his words and wound up essentially saying that the SEC champion wouldn’t be the SEC champion. Corso earned the nickname “Sunshine Scooter” for his speed on the football field. As a defensive player, he set the school record for most career interceptions (14), a record that stood for more than two decades until it was broken by Monk Bonaparte.
